    If there's a deeper secret to do with that axe, I haven't discovered it yet.

    I think one of the great things about all the new content is that different games can start to tell very different stories. Just like life... you may start off thinking you're going to meet the...

    Yeah, the random one is a bit of a pain. I've found it twice in the ToEF, once in the dwarven fortress (above the portal), and twice never found it at all. I have the impression it's supposed to...

    I've found it ruined a couple of times, but I haven't yet tried to find it whole.

    It depends an awful lot on what kind of character I'm playing. But if I'm not trying for low turn count or an ultra, this is my typical route.
    This approach limits overland travel time but still...

    More precisely, it tells you the number of bugs on the level. Grond being our most expert and prolific slayer of bugs.

    That happened to me once--I entered the gate wearing a plain amulet of chaos instead of the Medal of Chaos. I feel your pain!

    Hit by a cosmic ray!

    Well-defined wilderness with mini-dungeons, lots of bizarre and flavorful details and subquests. The most interesting part mechanically is that you don't have a class; to...

    I'm already done... my paladin died a horrible death trying to save the puppy, and the chaos knight didn't find a single item on the list.

    Sounds fun, I'm in!
    I rolled up Gudrun (dwarf paladin), Badrun (randomized PC, dwarf - dragon - CK), and Beruthiel (human -raven - necro).
    I'm starting with Badrun, who's doing OK so far at L16 of...

    Executor is the one artifact that always makes me go "Hell yeah!" when it appears. It's just so much cooler than the defensive artifacts. :-)

    I've noticed it too for druids. I'm currently playing a Salamander wizard and about half the books she finds are Fire Bolt.

    There was definitely a code change in R57 that affected the spell book...

    The RNG mocks me

    Just had to share this anecdote:

    Dwarf priest does puppy cave first, finds Scorched Spear guarded by an owlbear, then tried some pool-sipping. The fourth sip yields a wish, so I wish for the AoLS....

    All these ideas are excellent -- definitely deserving of a RFE. Then let Thomas decide what he wants to implement.

    I agree it's a pain, and perhaps an unintended side effect of the change that was made to improve the flow of the game in towns. It might merit a feature request: "Friendly creatures can't become...

    I've observed my Str potential increasing immediately after eating a giant corpse in R50. I'm not sure about the steam versions.

    It's still possible to increase your potential by eating giants, just rare.
